I wasn't bean critical, just making a suggestion in support of Hank's comment. Of coarse I think you halve maid the write decision, on account of ever-buddy knows that they* say "a pitcher is worth a thousand words" (with or without commas, aye presume), and yore videos are worth ten times one o' them moldy-oldies an' over-saturated phraud-o-graphs that them old geezers & curmudgeons post on hear ever once in a wile an' I don't think it matters if whee don't awl follow the same rules of languish gist sew long as whee can awl fig your out watt whee our sayin' an' it gets passed the spell chequer (and the @#$%& 'n-i-m-b-y' filter).**
